NEETChemistryStructure of Atom
When an electric discharge is passed through hydrogen gas, the hydrogen molecules dissociate to produce excited hydrogen atoms. These excited atoms emit electromagnetic radiation of discrete frequencies which can be given by the general formula What points of Bohr’s model of an atom can be used to arrive at this formula?
Options
- ABohr's model considers electrons as particles revolving in fixed orbits around the nucleus. The formula repres
- BBohr's model introduces the concept of quantized energy levels for electrons in the atom. The formula relates
- CBohr's model postulates that electrons emit or absorb energy only in discrete amounts when they jump from one
- DBohr's model asserts that the angular momentum of an electron in an orbit is quantized and can only take on ce
Correct answer
C. Bohr's model postulates that electrons emit or absorb energy only in discrete amounts when they jump from one
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (C) Bohr's model postulates that electrons emit or absorb energy only in discrete amounts when they jump from one orbit to another. The formula describes the wavelengths corresponding to these transitions.
